Can't you just explore the disk then click and drag the music you want out onto your hard drive?

Yeah, but its the wrong format... It's not wave files.

You need a ripping program. You can use iTunes to do that. But I recommend DAC or EAC for Winows. http://www.windac.de/

...as before, tracks on copyrighted retail music CDs are in CDA format. If you try dragging and dropping a CDA file (a track) from the CD to a folder on the Hard Drive, it will simply create a link to the track on the CD.

CDEX is another good, free CD Ripper for ripping tracks to MP3, WAV, OGG and some other formats (but no WMA support):

O yea, I'm just used to coping MP3 CDs and not regular ones. All the ones I ever copied were MP3 format (because burning MP3 disks is SOOO much faster then regular audio), and I haven't bought a retail CD for a long time, I either get it the "free" way or my friends make me a copy (which they also use MP3 format).

If u using a Mac with QuickTime 4 or higher, open the files and go SAVE AS... It worked for me before.
